Comment: Greedy uranium co., go back and mind your own business. Most places in the area are already SuperFunds sites where the other uranium co. just left the land and water polluted. So the so call new mining method, ISL, In-situ leaching which is not new, used in the 1940-50 in Europe which left a mess. ISL uses the following chemicals, acid or alkali, sounds nasty and will ruin the water!!! No uranium mining or milling anywhere in the world. Let's get real and try modern green power, which is cheaper and does last forever!!Company Challenges EPA Ruling That Mining Site Is On American Indian Land
POSTED: 3:12 pm MDT June 1, 2009
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A uranium mining company said it will ask a federal appeals court to review an April decision that a proposed uranium mine site in western New Mexico is on American Indian land.
The Lewisville, Texas-based Uranium Resource Inc. said in a news release it will ask the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver for an "en banc review" of the decision that sided with the Environmental Protection Agency.
Such a review would bring the case before the entire 10th Circuit Court.
A three-judge panel denied a petition from URI subsidiary Hydro Resources Inc., which challenged an EPA ruling that the site near Church Rock where it hoped to develop uranium mines was on Indian Country.
The ruling makes it harder for Hydro Resources to get the necessary groundwater injection permits.
